One of our favorite things about what we do is learning about businesses that supply things we use everyday. We recently took a trip to the Cleveland area to produce a series of videos for Quality Thread and Notions, including this piece highlighting their capabilities. By utilizing a combination of interviews, voice-over, and a b-roll throughout their facility, we were able to help them share what makes them distinct in their industry.

As a team made up mostly of native Daytonians, getting to work with deep-rooted organizations like Dayton Daily News is a true honor.⁠ ⁠ This video is one of a series of marketing pieces to highlight the real, local journalism that the Dayton Daily does in our community. You might catch some photos in the paper and spots on the radio, too!
